Department for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities
The complainant requested a copy of a report assessing the risks associated with ‘volumetric’ modular construction. The Department for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities (‘the DLUHC’) refused the request by virtue of section 35(1)(a) (formulation of government policy) of FOIA. The Commissioner’s decision is that the request should have been considered under the EIR. He has therefore recorded a breach of regulation 2(1) of the Regulations. The Commissioner requires the DLUHC to take the following steps to ensure compliance with the legislation. Reconsider the request under the EIR and either provide the requested information or issue a refusal notice citing a valid exception.EIR 2(1): Complaint upheld
